Goodyear RS-A Tires
The Cadillac SRX has been equipped with Goodyear RS-A all-season performance tires since the start of production in 2004. For the 2008 model year, this tire has been revised, though it retains the same "Eagle RS-A" designation. The TPC number on the side of the tire has been changed to identify new style from old style tires.
The revised RS-A tire was phased in after the start of 2008 production. Please observe the TPC number on the sidewall to verify the style of Eagle RS-A tire that the vehicle is equipped with.
Both Styles Still Available
While supplies last, both styles of Eagle RS-A continue to be available. When ordering replacement tires, you should keep tires to matched sets. If older vehicles equipped with the original style tire require a FULL SET of replacements, please update the vehicle to the new style.
Eagle RS-A Tire Usage for Cadillac SRX
Because the new style tire has a different construction from the old style tire, it has a different TPC number. Due to the inherent differences in tire construction, it is recommended, where possible, that the new style tire not be mixed with the old style tire.
